September 5th, 2009 20:50
Pressure on parents of schoolchildren has resumed in Gali district. Russian occupants have started carrying out raids on the villages in the vicinity of the administrative boundary of Georgia`s breakaway region of Abkhazia. The Russian militants are entering the homes of the families, whose children go to school in the village of Tskoushi beyond the so-called boundary, on the Georgian-controlled territory. The occupants categorically demand from the parents to take their children to Russian school, otherwise threaten with forbidding the teenagers to cross the administrative boundary.
The parents say senior schoolchildren will not be able to continue studying in Russian and hence a lot of families may face certain problems. They will have to leave their homes, because the occupants threaten to evict them from there. Identification documents have been seized from all the parents of senior schoolchildren. The documents are being kept in the so-called police of Gali district.
